stern: Tail all pods within a current namespace.
$ stern .
try on your machine
The command "stern ." is used to run the Stern logging tool for Kubernetes on the current namespace.
Here's a breakdown of the command components:
- "stern" is the name of the command-line executable.
- The period (.) after "stern" indicates that the tool should run in the current directory. This means Stern will search for Kubernetes pod logs within the current namespace.
- By default, Stern streams logs for all containers within all pods matching the specified namespace.
In summary, the command "stern ." is used to start Stern on the current directory, allowing you to conveniently monitor and display logs from all containers running in your Kubernetes namespace.
